Lemon-Lime Lady

Ah, Monday, my old foe - but today has been a pretty good day, so I shan't complain further. I was really happy with today's outfit. Let's see if the masses agree.

First up: my new-to-me thrifted blouse. Not so much hanger appeal for it, but doesn't it look pretty on? Not bad for $5.00! I just got it here this past weekend.

I liked the pin at the neckline

I knew as soon as I got it home that it would be a perfect match for my chartreuse Noa Noa skirt. I last wore this skirt here back in May while emulating a kitchen from the 70s.

I loved all the shades of greeny-yellowy-lime in the little floral pattern on the blouse, and how well the colour and texture with the skirt worked with it. I had to go with some of my treasured vintage family jewels for accents.

The stuff:

It only took me 5+ years of blogging to figure out the value of neutral shoes - I last wore these supremely comfy shoes here in June with leather and plaid. Yeah, out of over 85 pairs of shoes, I do not have a chartreuse pair. This is an oversight, obviously.

The glittery bling:

Aside from the ring, which is costume and recent, everything's from the 50s/60s and belonged to my Mom or my grandmother.
